What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a type of cosmetic skin treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the top layers of skin. This process removes dead skin cells, promotes collagen production, and stimulates cell turnover, resulting in a brighter, smoother, and more youthful complexion.
One type of chemical peel is HydroFacial. HydroFacial is a popular facial treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration in one go.
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
Chemical peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove the top layers. This process is called exfoliation. The depth of the peel determines how many layers of skin are removed. After the top layers of skin are removed, the body begins to heal itself by producing new collagen and elastin. This results in skin that is smoother, firmer, and more youthful looking.

The overall recovery time after a chemical peel will depend on the depth of the peel. Superficial peels typically require minimal downtime, while medium peels may require 1-2 weeks of recovery. Deep peels may require several weeks of downtime, and you may need to avoid strenuous activities and direct sunlight.
